INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank You

 for purchasing a Gorman‐Rupp Di­

aphragm Primer. 

Read this manual 

carefully to

learn how to safely install and operate your Di­
aphragm Primer. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or damage to the pump.

Because pump installations are seldom identical,
this manual cannot possibly provide detailed in­
structions and precautions for every aspect of
each specific application. Therefore, it is the re­
sponsibility of the owner/installer of the pump to
ensure that applications not addressed in this
manual are performed 

only

 after establishing that

neither operator safety nor pump integrity are com­
promised by the installation. Pumps and related
equipment 

must

 be installed and operated ac­

cording to all national, local and industry stan­
dards.

If  there are any questions regarding the di­
aphragm primer, pump or its application  which  are
not covered in this manual or in other literature ac­
companying this unit, please contact your Gor­
man‐Rupp distributor, or The Gorman‐Rupp Com­
pany:
